Celiac Awareness Day!

September 13, 2012

Word is out at Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bakery today! Celiac Community, we are here to fully support you and help with spreading awareness and knowledge.

Celiac Disease is not very well-known in our society today, even though close to 3 million Americans have it. The reason it is so in the dark could be because only 5% of that 3 million is properly diagnosed. This is a terrifying thing because left untreated Celiac Disease can lead to diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer. One of the only ways to help ease this disease is by living a gluten free life. Rudi’s is here to help in that aspect!

Word of mouth is the quickest way to spread knowledge to the world! Common symptoms include:

-abdominal pain

-bloating and gas

-diarrhea and/or constipation

-fatigue

-poor weight gain

This is what needs to be spread so that the undiagnosed and misdiagnosed can get the help they need!

Along with making people outside of the community aware we also want to do something special for everyone within the community. Today we are giving away some Free Rudi’s Gluten-Free Bread, Rudi’s GF Magnets, and Rudi’s Reusable Canvas Bags! Go to our facebook page and enter to win one of these prizes by telling us what you are doing to celebrate today on our wall! Also, don’t forget to reference this blog when writing your fun post!:)
